Can I get into the video game business with no programming skills?
Posted by: | CommentsI am pretty damn good at communicating with people. I can get my ideas across and I can convince others through rhetoric that what I am saying is a good idea. Of course I need to refine it even further, but I believe that at the present it is at a high level. I am a college freshman.
I also think that my writing abilities are not too shabby. I play a lot of video games and I have a good grasp of the product as a customer. I have a passion for video games and I enjoy reading and learning about how they are made.
What I can not exactly figure out is can I get into the business with no programming skills? I have tried programming and I can honestly say that a mouse in a coma can probably do it better.
I am a creative individual with good communication skills and a passion for bringing up ideas for the improvement of video games.
I can not draw either.
However I can easily get people excited over something.
I also do not mind writing so I hope there is something I can do with that.
You can be a PR person. Go to E3, get people all exciting about a game. You could be like Reggie Fils-Aime. He knows squat about programming, but he sure knows how to get people excited about a so-so product like the Wii.
You can also be a game artist or designer. You’ll be responsible for creating the character’s looks or designing levels for games.

my favorite installation::::this video is taken from the website of the creatores of LISTENING POST
Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin
Listening Post is an art installation that culls text fragments in real time from thousands of unrestricted Internet chat rooms, bulletin boards and other public forums. The texts are read (or sung) by a voice synthesizer, and simultaneously displayed across a suspended grid of more than two hundred small electronic screens.
Listening Post cycles through a series of six movements, each a different arrangement of visual, aural, and musical elements, each with it’s own data processing logic.
Dissociating the communication from its conventional on-screen presence, Listening Post is a visual and sonic response to the content, magnitude, and immediacy of virtual communication.

Are underdeveloped communication skills holding YOU back?
One of the biggest mistakes we make each day at work and in our homes is to under estimate the power of communication.

This training program shows us how our daily communication skills can dramatically propel us to new levels of success. You’ll get an inside-out look at the two basic categories of communication: Internal – the voice within, and Interpersonal – listening and dealing with others. Each category is explored in detail to help advance your understanding of how to create effective communication.

Why do critics of Bush persist in insisting he an idiot?
Posted by: | CommentsA man of limited intellect, poor communication skills, business failure and alcoholic until middle age, Bush was able to land a government job and hold onto it for 8 years before retiring with incredible lifetime benefits. Idiot? I think not.
You must give "W" credit where it is due. He gave every loser in the world the hope that they too could make it if the breaks fell their way. They no longer worry about lacking self-discipline, brains, skills and other old fashioned successs measures. "W" proved anyone could make it in today’s world.

Good question. I agree he is not dumb. I mean he put all his money in oil and whom do we go to war with, but one of the largest producers of oil. When our prices go up so does his wallet. The man is a super genius. Guess what gas is going down he is losing money he probably pulled out which is why we can gas up again for 2.12.

Business and Finance Graduate Looking For A Job?
Posted by: | CommentsI have had a difficult time trying to break into the Finance arena. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Finance from Binghamton University (Top NY State School). I graduated in December 2004 (3.0 GPA).
I have managed my personal and my family’s portfolios since I was 14. I have invested in Stocks/Stock Options/Mutual Funds, etc. I love researching and watching the stock market moved, and have learned a great deal about the market and the economy.
Also since I was 16, I have owned and operated my own small computer repair business. I have taught people how to use software, as well as build cutomized computers and fix any hardware or software problem. Through my own business I have learned communication skills (written and oral), and also how to interact with customers and people. i am very responsible, detail oriented, analytical, and I know how to manage my time.
I will add in the next writing. I am out of room.
